Pattaya, Banglamung and Laem Chabang Oct. 25 to begin planning the Feb.

Registration for the government handouts closed Oct. 31. Officials
reported that 1,440 people from Pattaya, 131 from Banglamung District
and 125 from Laem Chabang had requested aid through Oct. 25.
Already held twice this year, the government outreach event will offer
opportunities for residents to receive electrical-equipment repairs, pay
car and motorbike taxes, get haircuts, receive advice on agriculture,
get pet vaccinations and sterilizations, and buy locally made products
and insurance.
The finale of the program will see handouts of crutches, wheelchairs,
walkers and canes to the infirm, glasses to those in need, fertilizers,
and freshwater fish.
